New Publication: Building Peace – A forum for peace and security in the 21st century

Alliance for Peacebuilding

April 2013

Most people outside of the peacebuilding community do not realize that every day women, men, and children work to prevent violence and consolidate peace in their local communities and capitals through dialogue, reconciliation, development efforts, human rights initiatives, and governance processes. At the Alliance for Peacebuilding we understand that in order to secure more support for the peacebuilding field we need to communicate more effectively the benefits and impact of peacebuilding work. So, for the past year we have been working to fill that communications gap.

Today, we are extremely pleased to announce the release of the inaugural issue of Building Peace: A Forum for Peace and Security in the 21st Century!

You can access our first issue, which features Nobel Laureate Leymah Gbowee on the cover and introduces the breadth and scope of peacebuilding, on our new publication website.

With input from peacebuilding experts around the world, we have developed a new, free, semi-annual online publication that shares stories of people, communities, and organizations that are transforming the face of peace and security around the world. Created and written for people who are not yet deeply familiar with peacebuilding, Building Peace offers a window into how those in the peacebuilding field foster and support resilient, peaceful, and inclusive societies around the world.
